there is a song called here we go round the mulberry bush
in a different song, a weasel goes pop
neither song has a monkey

There is a version of the jack-in-the-box song that starts with “all around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel” and ends with “pop goes the weasel”. That’s the version I heard growing up
Tantor is a generic name for elephants in Mangani, the fictional language of the great apes in the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. In Burroughs’s works a number of elephants appear under the name of Tantor, most notably one particular bull elephant the ape man befriends in his youth in the first Tarzan novel, Tarzan of the Apes and in the 1999 Animated Walt Disney film he is a red African Forest Elephant and friends with the ape Terk.
